Atwan: Netanyahu Goes Crazy by Iran's Name, Growing Power
TEHRAN (Basirat): Abdel Bari Atwan, the editor-in-chief of Rai al-Youm newspaper, underlined that Iran's might and power has made Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu crazy and forced him to introduce Iran as the biggest threat to global security.
"Benjamin Netanyahu goes crazy by Iran's name and its growing power and he
considers Iran as a threat to the world as if Iran is a superpower with
thousands of nuclear warheads like the US, Russia and China," Atwan wrote on
Monday.
He referred to Netanyahu's remarks at the Munich Security Conference on Sunday
claiming that his regime could "act” directly against Iran, showing off what he
called a piece of an Iranian drone which the Israeli military claims to have
downed more than a week ago, and said, "This could be Netanyahu's first and last
speech at the Munich conference before 600 participants."
Atwan added that Netanyahu's claims at the Munich conference was a repetition of
his past allegations at the UN General Assembly meeting in 2012 in which he
showed a cartoonish illustration as he described his alleged concerns
over Iran's nuclear ambitions.
He underlined Iran's growing power against Israel, and said, "Iran's strategy is
based on fighting against the Israeli enemy and it enjoys high preparedness for
making sacrifices in addition to enjoying the military and field capabilities."
In response to the Israeli prime minister, Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad
Javad Zarif lashed out at his remarks against Iran at the Munich Security
Conference as "cartoonish circus".
"You were the audience for a cartoonish circus just this morning, which does not
even deserve the dignity of a response. So let’s move to more serious issues,"
Zarif said, addressing the participants in Munich Conference on Sunday.
